The Jam-infused bluegrass band from Richmond, VA, South Hill Banks has been captivating crowds up and down the east coast with their eyes set west. After releasing “Riverside Dr.” in 2016, this young 5 piece has developed their energetic live show on the road, building a devoted fan base along the way. SHB draws from traditional bluegrass while delivering a psychedelic jam sound. Comprised of upright bass, acoustic guitar, mandolin, banjo, and electric guitar, this unique line up shows their excitement and dedication every night. Be on the look out for their new record in October, it’s sure to make waves.

American folk music is a diverse eco-system. Artists working within the style have electrified it, orchestrated it, jazzed it up, smoothed it down, re-mixed it, and preserved its original forms. Hill, Hood, and the Yellow Dandies are out to showcase the music’s wild roots and introduce it to new audiences in a provocative, but legitimate way. Blending the traditional and contemporary, the Yellow Dandies approach 60 year old bluegrass standards and 200 year old fiddle tunes with the same manic energy as their own new originals. The band blasts through its live sets with ferocious energy, intricate musicianship, and hilarious songs; keeping the audience on their feet, often dancing, occasionally screaming.

Steel City Jug Slammers is an American Jug Band originally formed by Nicholas Bate when he brought the concept to Jerrod Atkins and began to perform.
